F.B.L.A. ew leadership arrived this year with the coming of Mrs. Perschbacher, who added a new atmos- phere and style to the Future Business Leaders of America Club. To enable them to start the year off with a financial success, FBLA members challenged students to toss hoops around girls' legs at their Home- coming Carnival booth. The club learned new busi- ness methods and improved old ones. FBLA members also enjoyed informal parties and group discussions. Previously the club had taken field trips and studied intense business relations, but this year they chose a more informal method of business studies and activities. Meeting twice monthly, FBLA improved business practices, enjoyed informal gatherings, and made plans for future activities. The purpose of the club was to train young people in the art of becoming suc- cessful inthe business world. Salesmanship, book- keeping, shorthand, and other office skills comprised the subject in which students became adept during these meetings. l 1 4
